Ingredients
  

  • 500 g Lamb Boneless, cut into chunks
  • 200 g Yoghurt
  • 2 tbsp Oil
  • 2 Onions Finely chopped
  • 4 cloves Garlic Minced
  • 2 tsp Ginger Paste
  • 1 tsp Salt
  • 2 tsp Cumin Powder
  • 1 tsp Chilli Powder
  • 1 tsp Turmeric Powder
  • 2 tsp Coriander Powder
  • 200 ml Water
  • Coriander Garnish

Instructions

  • Heat the vegetable oil in a large pan or Dutch oven over medium heat. Sauté finely chopped onions until golden brown.
  • Add minced garlic and ginger paste to the pan. Cook for 2 minutes, stirring continuously.
  • Add boneless lamb cubes to the pan and cook until browned on all sides, approximately 5-7 minutes.
  • In a small bowl, mix ground coriander, cumin, turmeric powder, and chili powder.
  • Sprinkle the spice mixture over the lamb cubes and stir until evenly coated.
  • Reduce heat to low and stir in plain yogurt. Ensure the yogurt is well incorporated into the mixture.
  • Pour in water and season with salt to taste. Stir well, cover the pan, and simmer on low heat for approximately 1 hour or until the lamb becomes tender. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
  • Once the lamb is cooked and tender, remove the lid and simmer for an additional 10-15 minutes to thicken the sauce.
  • Remove the pan from heat and let it rest for a few minutes. Garnish with fresh cilantro leaves.
  • Serve the Lamb Korma hot with steamed basmati rice or naan bread.

Notes

Adjust the spice level by increasing or reducing the amount of chilli powder.
For a creamier texture, add a tablespoon of heavy cream or coconut milk towards the end of cooking.
Lamb Korma can be prepared a day in advance for enhanced flavours. Reheat before serving.
